Home Remodel Idea: New Landscaping
Landscaping upgrades may offer 100% cost recovery at resale, according to NAR’s 2023 “Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features.” The report defined landscaping updates as adding two stone planters and installing a front walkway of natural flagstone, at least five flowering shrubs, at least one deciduous 15-foot tree, and mulch.

Softscaping refers to the planting of trees, grasses, shrubs, flowers, and other plants to enhance a landscape. The following are softscape options and price ranges from Fixr’s “Landscaping Cost Guide.”

Shrub planting: $25 to $50
Tree planting: $150 to $300
Tree pruning: $350 to $650
Tree removal: $400 to $900
Lawn seeding: $550to $1,500
Flower bed installation: $1,000 to $3,000
Sod installation: $5,800 to $7,200
Whatever your budget, there’s a home remodeling project that’s affordable for you, meets your needs, and can add value when it’s time to sell. That’s an investment worth considering.

Home Remodel Idea: A New Garage Door
One way to spruce up your home’s curb appeal is to upgrade the garage door. They may not sound fancy, but garage door replacements have frequently rated high for ROI potential at resale in NAR’s Remodeling Impact Reports. Further, a new garage door can help homeowners feel better about their homes, the 2025 report finds.

Experts say it’s important to choose a style that complements your home’s architecture. The 2025 trends report from national garage supplier Amarr lists these trends:

Glass garage doors: An ultra sleek and contemporary look that can incorporate large or smaller sections of glass panels.
Steel garage doors: A clean, modern look known for being a durable and cost-effective choice
Wood or faux wood door: A more traditional, rustic choice that offers a “homey, pastoral vibe.”

Home Remodel Idea: Minor Kitchen Updates
More homeowners are prioritizing remodeling their kitchen, along with roofs and bathrooms, according to real estate professionals surveyed by the NAR report. Kitchen remodels are usually more expensive, although they’re the top project credited by homeowners as giving them joy.

That said, you don’t have to spend a lot. “It’s little things that can make a big difference,” Hicks says. For example, if your cabinets are outdated but still in good shape, you can reface them, swap out the cabinet fronts and drawers, or just paint them, Hicks says. “White and even blue are popular,” she says.

Another way to save on costs: two-tone cabinets. “White provides a timeless look in a kitchen, and homeowners still favor that color, but a quarter of renovators are contrasting the upper and lower cabinets,” says Marine Sargsyan, staff economist for the home remodeling site Houzz. She says white tends to be popular for the upper cabinets, and the lower cabinets will be darker, like in a wood tone or painted in green or blue for a contrast. For an even simpler way to upgrade the kitchen, paint the kitchen island different color than the rest of the cabinets — for example, in blue and green. The combo is popular among remodelers, Sargsyan says.

Home Remodel Idea: Minor Bathroom Renovation
Homeowners also rate bathroom renovations highly for bringing them joy, according to the NAR report. But bathroom remodels can be expensive, too, costing on average $15,000, and easily increasing depending on the extent of changes.

Choose projects that don’t involve moving plumbing or taking out walls, Hicks says. Consider smaller scale updates, which can sometimes be completed for $200 to $5,000.
